Pressure; one word so many meanings. essay

Pressure; one word so many meanings.

Everyone has a different opinion about what is right and what is wrong for example, one may say that keeping a secret is really important where as another might believe that its okay to tell secrets.Opinions are very common in daily life and are often the start of fights, as there might be a disagreement on what the right answer is.That is why pressure can be a hard word to understand and to think about as everyone has an opinion.For instance one might feel pressure going to a social event, one might feel pressure about doing the best and others could even feel pressure from within them self.


social events

Many people deal with social anxiety, the definition of social anxiety is a discomfort or a fear when a person is in social interactions that involve a concern about being judged or evaluated by others.It is typically characterised by an intense fear of what others are thinking about them (specifically fear of embarrassment, criticism, or rejection), which results in the individual feeling insecure, not good enough for other people, and/or the assumption that peers will automatically reject them. These thoughts that people feel can be because of thinking to much about what could happen. Many people get pressured into doing things they normally wouldn't do, for the feeling of others liking them. This happens a lot in movies and sadly real life too. Pressure is used commonly in other people bullying and trying to make others do something with them so they can feel"cool"when usually its not that cool.


Doing the best

When there is a stressful situation humans tend to either do better or worse. This stress can comes form people in our lives  or the thought of needing to be good pressuring us to do perfect when really nothing can be. As an illustration; when preforming most people feel nervous before they start, people will feel this way throughout the presentation but others can take the adrenaline of the pressure to be better then they thought they could and make use of that feeling. Many struggle with the pressure to do perfect and end up doing worse because they over think about the performance. Doing best can also be put into a school or work situation.In school one of the rules that has always been forced was do your best but what does that even mean, how are you suppose to what's the best. I think that the saying "do your best" is wrong sure doing the best that you can is important but my best is different from other peoples best and that gives pressure about how i should be doing. 

With in self 
Pressure can be felt within you're self. It might be a goal that you've made for yourself or it might be the pressure to do something that has been on your mind. For example being in stressful situations that make you nervous. Even though the situation could be easy for other people something inside yourself that you need to act or do something a certain way. Human minds work in many ways but one of the common things that it does is over think and make up situations that never happen this gives us stress and pressure.  


The use of persuasion, influence, or intimidation to make someone do something.That might be the google definition but like I've mentioned earlier every one has there own opinion and my opinion is that their cant be just one definition for the word pressure because pressure can come from social situations, being good at something and also from within our self. Yes in all situations there is a connection but the definition mainly focused on the bullying and social aspect of pressure even though their are so many other definitions they used the most common one.
